2016-09-30mac80211: mesh: decrease max driftPedersen, Thomas1-1/+1
The old value was 30ms, which means mesh sync will treat any value below as merely TSF drift. This isn't really reasonable (typical drift is < 10us/s) since people probably want to adjust TSF in smaller increments (for ie. beacon collision avoidance) without mesh sync fighting back. Change max drift adjustment to 0.8ms, so manual TSF adjustments can be made in 1ms increments, with some margin.

2016-09-30mac80211: add offset_tsf driver op and use it for meshPedersen, Thomas1-3/+7
This allows the mesh sync (and debugfs) code to make incremental TSF adjustments, avoiding any uncertainty introduced by delay in programming absolute TSF. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <twp@qca.qualcomm.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2015-07-17mac80211: move mesh related station fields to own structJohannes Berg1-8/+8
There are now a fairly large number of mesh fields that really aren't needed in any other modes; move those into their own structure and allocate them separately. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2014-04-29mac80211: remove BUG_ON usageJohannes Berg1-1/+1
These BUG_ON statements should never trigger, but in the unlikely event that somebody does manage don't stop everything but simply exit the code path with an error. Leave the one BUG_ON where changing it would result in a NULL pointer dereference. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2013-12-16mac80211: update adjusting TBTT bit in beaconThomas Pedersen1-1/+8
This regression was introduced in "mac80211: cache mesh beacon". mesh_sync_offset_adjust_tbtt() was assuming that the beacon would be rebuilt in every single pre-tbtt interrupt, but now the beacon update happens on the workqueue, and it must be ready for immediate delivery to the driver. Save a pointer to the meshconf IE in the beacon_data (this works because both the IE pointer and beacon buffer are protected by the same rcu_{dereference,assign_pointer}()) for quick updates during pre-tbtt. This is faster and a little prettier than iterating over the elements to find the meshconf IE every time.

2013-12-02mac80211: mesh: only get tsf if we need itBob Copeland1-14/+14
The local TSF timer is used to compute the timing offset between mesh peers on beacon reception. However, asking the device for the TSF is not very accurate, so we prefer to use rx->mactime if available. In the latter case, calling drv_get_tsf() just adds more delay into the RX path, so skip it if we can.

2013-02-15mac80211: clean up mesh codeJohannes Berg1-31/+16
There's various code with strange indentation, questionable loop and locking constructs, etc. The bigger change is moving the "sdata" argument to the first argument of all functions, like all other mac80211 functions that have one. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-11-30mac80211: fix for mesh sync to indicate TBTT adjustmentMarco Porsch1-0/+4
Currently the mesh sync code checks, whether peers indicate TBTT adjustment, but it never sets the corresponding flag itself. By setting ifmsh->tbtt_adjusting to true, it will set the corresponding field in the mesh configuration IE of own beacons. This indication will be set in the current beacon. The TBTT adjustment will be performed afterwards, affecting the next beacon. Thus, the first beacon with stable TBTT will not indicate adjustment anymore and peers will continue tracking the new offset.

2012-11-14mac80211: support RX_FLAG_MACTIME_ENDThomas Pedersen1-37/+7
Allow drivers to indicate their mactime is at RX completion and adjust for this in mac80211. Also rename the existing RX_FLAG_MACTIME_MPDU to RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START to clarify its intent.

2012-10-18mac80211: remove unimplemented mesh vendor syncJohannes Berg1-52/+3
There's no vendor-specific mesh sync implemented and there don't need to be dummy handlers that only print messages, so remove that code. While at it, also constify the mesh sync ops. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
2012-10-08mac80211: call drv_get_tsf() in sleepable contextThomas Pedersen1-2/+1
The call to drv_get/set_tsf() was put on the workqueue to perform tsf adjustments since that function might sleep. However it ended up inside a spinlock, whose critical section must be atomic. Do tsf adjustment outside the spinlock instead, and get rid of a warning. Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen <thomas@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2012-06-24mac80211: clean up debuggingJohannes Berg1-27/+20
There are a few things that make the logging and debugging in mac80211 less useful than it should be right now: * a lot of messages should be pr_info, not pr_debug * wholesale use of pr_debug makes it require *both* Kconfig and dynamic configuration * there are still a lot of ifdefs * the style is very inconsistent, sometimes the sdata->name is printed in front Clean up everything, introducing new macros and separating out the station MLME debugging into a new Kconfig symbol.

2012-04-16mac80211: Take into account TSF adjustment latency in Toffset setpointJavier Cardona1-1/+7
When testing mesh synchronization we observed a global TSF slowdown that was dependent on the number of synchronized mesh stations. This seems to be caused by the TSF adjustment (read/write) latency. Adding a small margin to the Toffset setpoint solved the problem.

2012-04-10mac80211: Implement mesh synchronization frameworkJavier Cardona1-0/+296
This patch adds MBSS extensible synchronization framework (Sec. 13.13.2 of IEEE Std. 802.11-2012). The framework is implemented via an ops table which defines the following functions: rx_bcn_presp() - this is called every time a mesh beacon is received. adjust_tbtt() - this is called immediately before a beacon is about to be transmitted. The default neighbor offset synchronization defined in the standard is implemented. We also provide template functions for vendor specific methods. When neighbor offset synchronization is active (which is the default) mesh neighbors in the same MBSS will track timing offsets to each other and compensate clock drift. In our tests we observed that this mesh synchronization implementation successfully corrected drifts between stations of ~2PPM while introducing a jitter of ~20us. It is also possible to test this framework on mac80211_hwsim simulated phys to see how it behaves under different topologies, over poor links, etc. Signed-off-by: Marco Porsch <marco.porsch@s2005.tu-chemnitz.de> Signed-off-by: Pavel Zubarev <pavel.zubarev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
